How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

It is a “do it yourself” everything! Check yourself in. Hotel tries to be chic and cool with speakers in room??? Wifi was not good at all in my room. Had to go to lobby. Just wasn’t a good stay for me. Hallway is really dark! Black!
Hey Joseph, Thanks for sharing your feedback with us. We're pleased to hear that you found our location good. Ruby Lissi's central location is definitely a perk that allows our guests to explore Vienna with ease. About your concerns, our self check-in system was implemented to streamline the process, but we understand that it can be a bit of a shift from the traditional hotel experience. We design our spaces to create a unique and modern atmosphere, hence the speakers in rooms and the dark hallway you mentioned. We're sorry to hear about the Wi-Fi connectivity issues you experienced. As a part of our Lean Luxury philosophy, we ensure that our guests have access to top-quality Wi-Fi at all times to stay connected. We'll certainly look into this. We value your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a more positive experience in the future. Your Ruby Lissi Team

Hey Nicki, It's great to hear that you appreciated being able to check into your room early. We do our best to accommodate our guests' needs where we can, and it's lovely to know this made a positive difference to your stay. Regarding the tea and coffee in the room, we've taken a different approach in line with our Lean Luxury philosophy. We have a 24/7 Galley on the second floor that offers free organic tea and a selection of coffees. This allows our guests to help themselves whenever they fancy a hot drink. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts, and we hope to see you again soon at Ruby Lissi. Your Ruby Lissi Team

Verified reviewThere are lots of cost saving measures in place. the hotel occupies the inner portion of a larger building, so the hotel lobby doesn’t lead directly on to the street, and you enter via some rather unglamorous passageways. There are no coffee machines or fridges in the rooms, you can alter the temperature up or down by only 3C, you can’t really reach customer service by phone, and the staff try and get you to swap room cleaning for cocktail vouchers. But the upside is that you stay in well sized, comfortable rooms with high quality beds, bathrooms and fixtures at a fraction of the cost of other hotels in central Vienna. The rooms and common areas are stylish. The roof top bar is great. This is a great way to run a hotel - focus on what matters and make it affordable.
Hey Justin, What a fantastic review you've given us, thank you so much. As you've rightly pointed out, our Lean Luxury philosophy is all about focusing on the essentials and providing high-quality, meaningful features. We’re thrilled that this resonated with you and that you appreciated the value we offer. We’re also glad to hear that you enjoyed the comfort and style of our rooms and common areas. Our team puts a lot of thought into designing spaces that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. About the entrance, we share the building with a few other businesses, so our entrance is located at Fleischmarkt through a signposted glass door, or alternatively at Laurenzerberg with an elevator to the lobby. We know it's a bit hidden, but we hope that it adds to the charm of discovering Ruby Lissi. We're glad you liked the rooftop bar, it's one of our favourite spots too. We are looking forward to welcoming you back on your next visit to Vienna. Your Ruby Lissi Team

The shower door opens into the toilet, and there is no place to put a foot towel. There is no minibar.
Hey Svetlana, Thank you for your feedback. We're thrilled you appreciated our central location and found your room comfortable and clean. It's great to know you enjoyed our comfy beds and pristine linen - we strive to ensure our guests have a restful stay. Our friendly team also appreciates your kind words. We're here to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. We acknowledge your feedback regarding the shower door and the placement of foot towels. Our open bathroom design with an all-glass rain shower is part of our Ruby design, making the room appear larger and maximising space. For a bit more privacy, you can easily close the curtain around the shower. However, as part of our Lean Luxury philosophy, our rooms don't have minibars. Instead, you'll find free hot drinks and a Maxi bar to buy other bits and bobs in our Galleys. Otherwise, you can visit one of our bars for a drink or a bite to eat – it's open 24/7. We look forward to welcoming you back to Ruby Lissi in the future. Your Ruby Lissi Team

The way the toilet and shower are in the room, behind only glass, was a little awkward. The fixtures themselves were nice, but the layout of them in the room was unusual.
Hey Donald, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Ruby Lissi. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the cleanliness and modern design of our rooms, as well as our amenities. It's also great to know that you enjoyed our bar and rooftop - they are indeed wonderful spots to relax and enjoy the city views. We noted your feedback about the bathroom layout.

We understand this might not be to everyone's taste, and we appreciate your feedback as it helps us cater to our guests' preferences better in the future.

Verified reviewBreakfast was different and tasty. A nice international selection. Reasonably good coffee. Barista coffee service was good. Comfy louge chair area where I work for the afternoon on checkout. I'd definitely stay again.
I like the personal touch. while the bar staff helped me check in, the default approach is through two ipads on the reservation desk and via an app. it worked, but I arrived late and tired and would have appreciated a friendly receptionist for support on arrival...
Hey Glynn, Thank you for sharing your experience at Ruby Lissi. We're thrilled to hear that you appreciated our varied breakfast selection and that our coffee hit the spot. It's also great to know that you found our bar area comfortable for working. Regarding the check-in, we understand that the change from traditional receptionist service to our self check-in system can be a bit different. Our approach is designed to simplify the process and free up our hosts to provide excellent service, with a friendly human always available to assist if needed. However, we appreciate your feedback and understand how a warm human touch can make all the difference after a long day of travel. We're looking forward to welcoming you back to Ruby Lissi soon.

Hey Jim, Thanks for taking the time to share your review. We're chuffed that you appreciated our central location. Indeed, being in the heart of Vienna’s historic city centre, many of the major sightseeing hotspots and business addresses are just a stone's throw away from Ruby Lissi.

Would be better to have kettle+tea in the rooms. Also daily cleaning, not 2 times a week would make a difference.
Hey Nadir, Thank you very much for your review. We're glad to hear you appreciated our central location. Ruby Lissi is located in the first district, the heart of Vienna’s historic city center. Many of the major sightseeing hotspots, business addresses and the city’s nightlife scene are just a stone's throw away. However, in line with our Lean Luxury philosophy, we concentrate on the essential in a hotel and leave away superfluous stuff. This is why instead of a kettle in every room, we offer a Galley with free tea and hot water on the second floor. It is also very important for us that our guests feel comfortable with us, which is why we also attach great importance to cleanliness in all our hotels. For the sake of the environment, our guests can choose whether they want daily cleaning or every three days. If the guest chooses the second option at check-in, he or she will receive a complimentary drink at the hotel bar. Of course, we also clean the room every day, if desired. Next time you stay at one of our Ruby hotels, just ask a host for assistance if you're not happy with the cleaning of your room. They will be glad to find a solution for you. We hope to welcome you back soon to Ruby Lissi. Your Ruby Lissi Team

Hey Sunshine, Thank you so much for telling us about your experience at Ruby Lissi. Our Lean Luxury philosophy focuses on stripping back the non-essentials and instead providing high-quality, meaningful features. This includes our open bathroom design, which uses frosted glass to create a unique experience while maximising space. We understand this might not be to everyone's taste, but we believe it adds a distinctive touch to our rooms. For a bit more privacy while showering, you can easily close the curtain around the shower. We want you to feel fully prepared and excited about your stay, so we've made sure to showcase lots of photos of our room design and features across all booking platforms. Feel free to take a look before your arrival. As most of our guests nowadays have a mobile phone, we have deliberately decided not to have phones in the rooms as part of our Lean Luxury concept. You are therefore welcome to call us from your private mobile phone or speak directly to our hosts on site. They are there for you 24/7. We hope to see you again on your next trip to Vienna.
